Open Arts provides open access to creative space, tools and community used for both artistic expression and professional development.

As part of Open Arts, our open Virtual Reality studio provides community members the space and tools to create in a uniquely immersive environment

How it works

Using the HTC VIVE™ along with Google’s Tilt Brush app, individuals are able to access the open VR space and create original art from sculpture to fashion and virtual paintings, each in fully immersive 3D environments.

Each VR rig will give individuals access to a set of VR goggles, two handheld wands and two sensors allowing the individuals a grid in which to access that the virtual space. The images created using the VIVE™ wands and Google’s Tilt Brush app - among other creative apps - are visible to onlookers by a large HD monitor.

The VR creative space is located in the Open Arts studio at Artlink, 300 E. Main St., in downtown Fort Wayne.

Public access will be available on a first-come basis in half-hour increments for up to two hours during open studio hours.
